We study randomized gossip-based processes in dynamic networks that are motivated by discovery processes in large-scale distributed networks like peer-to-peer or social networks. A well-studied problem in peer-to-peer networks is the…
In distributed networks, it is often useful for the nodes to be aware of dense subgraphs, e.g., such a dense subgraph could reveal dense subtructures in otherwise sparse graphs (e.g. the World Wide Web or social networks); these might…
We study gossip algorithms for the rumor spreading problem which asks each node to deliver a rumor to all nodes in an unknown network. Gossip algorithms allow nodes only to call one neighbor per round and have recently attracted attention…
We study distributed methods for online prediction and stochastic optimization. Our approach is iterative: in each round nodes first perform local computations and then communicate in order to aggregate information and synchronize their…
In this paper, we consider the problem of clustering graph nodes and sparsifying graph edges over distributed graphs, when graph edges with possibly edge duplicates are observed at physically remote sites. Although edge duplicates across…

Communication overhead hinders the scalability of large-scale distributed training. Gossip SGD, where each node averages only with its neighbors, is more communication-efficient than the prevalent parallel SGD. However, its convergence rate…
We study the classical rumor spreading problem, which is used to spread information in an unknown network with $n$ nodes. We present the first protocol for any expander graph $G$ with $n$ nodes and minimum degree $\Theta(n)$ such that, the…
We study a gossip protocol called forwarding without repeating (FWR). The objective is to spread multiple rumors over a graph as efficiently as possible. FWR accomplishes this by having nodes record which messages they have forwarded to…
In recent times, a considerable amount of work has been devoted to the development and analysis of gossip algorithms in Geometric Random Graphs. In a recently introduced model termed "Geographic Gossip," each node is aware of its position…
This paper investigates the problem of distributed network-wide averaging and proposes a new greedy gossip algorithm. Instead of finding the optimal path of each node in a greedy manner, the proposed approach utilises a suboptimal…
Gossiping is a communication mechanism, used for fast information dissemination in a network, where each node of the network randomly shares its information with the neighboring nodes. To characterize the notion of fastness in the context…
This paper presents gossip algorithms for aggregation tasks that demonstrate both robustness to adversarial corruptions of any order of magnitude and optimality across a substantial range of these corruption levels. Gossip algorithms…
Consider a network of nodes where each node has a message to communicate to all other nodes. For this communication problem, we analyze a gossip based protocol where coded messages are exchanged. This problem was studied by Aoyama and Shah…
